DVaAP- 10/15

How do we convey feeling?

For this six weeks, we’ll be primarily using Photoshop. In the new version of Photoshop CS6, Video has been added to its capabilities (albeit it was already available in previous versions if you had the extended nversion). They also made a lot of upgrades to what you can do with video in PS. Photoshop, most of the time, however is not used for video, and what you can do with it has a very broad range of applications.

Looking at Cuts & Transitions
The only basic we haven’t talked about so far is Cuts, or also sometimes referred to as transitions. There are lots of transitions in iMovie, and most of them aren’t very good. There’s only a few transitions you want to use in actual video production. Problematically, it seems there are some people who break cuts up into a bunch of types, and other that lump them together. As such, some sources show only 4 or 5, and others may show more than 15. Below is something in between. Click on the terms for examples.Most Commonly Used TransitionsNatural Transitions & Cuts
– Cut Away
– Fade– Dissolve (or crossfade)
